Transportation Management (MS)
Program Description
Systems of transportation are changing rapidly in conjunction with and as a response to evolving technology; shifting human mobility patterns; increasing efforts to build toward equity, sustainability, and resilience; and the popularization of new methods of transit, like the advent of ridesharing and the spread of micromobility modes such as e-scooters and bikeshares.
The Tandon School of Engineering's MS in Transportation Management takes an adaptive, whole-system approach to transit which considers the logistical transportation problems of mobility in increasingly smart cities through an integrated lens.
Located in a city with one of the world’s most complex transit systems, our campus is a gateway to an ideal laboratory for those wishing to study the discipline. Courses like Intelligent Cities: Technology Policy and Planning explore the landscape of technologies being used in urban planning and policymaking today. Together, our students and faculty focus on the fundamentals of management and the economics at play for public and private sector agencies as they interact with local, state, and national policies affect residents and businesses. Students will be exposed to concepts from a host of fields and specialties, included but not limited to data and predictive analytics, smart transportation and smart cities, urban planning and public policy, and technological innovation, and leave prepared to help build the future of transportation.
